Update on Lelah for Jennifer's Birthday!

Just wanted to post some photo's of my daughter wearing her Lelah top that I knit for her birthday. It fit her perfectly and she really likes it. I used the ONline Linnie Clip in Teal. It took a little less than 3 skeins and I had enough left over to knit a dishcloth.



I also knit her the Little Silk Shrug from the book Lace Style to go with it. I used Grand Opera in Teal by Nashua Knits for that and it took 2 skeins.

My details for both can be found in my Ravelry notebook...here.

Lelah Top


Lelah_Finished_lg

I purchased some beautiful teal Online Linnie Clip from the Cottage to make this top for my daughter Jennifer's upcoming birthday the end of June. I even had just enough left over to make a dishcloth as well. I love the feel of this cotton yarn and the drape is gorgeous and it is not as heavy as I thought it might be. I think it will be perfect for the St. Petersburg climate where my daughter lives.

I've heard that cotton tends to grow when you wear it, so I am hoping that it won't stretch too much when she wears it.

This was a fun and fast project and I really enjoyed knitting it.

You can find the pattern here:

When she comes home I will get a picture of her wearing it and post that here when I do.
